US Politics Thread

I’ve gotta hand it to you — you’re the only both-sideser still here peddling this fairly ridiculous take. Full marks for persistence, but a failing grade otherwise. Democrats spent the last two years unifying their progressive and moderate wings. Now the “polarisation” on display is GOPers at each other’s throats, and the “pantomime” over Trump is internal to Republicans since everyone else has given him the Heisman.

You’re sharp enough to catch on eventually, hopefully before we colonise Mars.
Damn both-sidsers. We all need to pick a side and stick to it goddamit or gawd knows what'll happen. The NRA and MAGA need to hunt the both-sidsers down and kill them - probably commies and abortionists.
 
I'm sure both sides unanimously agreed that you are a ****.
New user name on its way out mate? You seem to get off sneering at and making ad hominem attacks on other members of this forum. Kindly fuck off you small-dicked, inadequate arsehole.

Silly question but how many times can they re-run the vote?
I think unlimited? and I think until there is a speaker elected they can't actually do any votes on anything else?

I'd guess they either find a compromise republican candidate or try and persuade enough Democrats not to show up for a vote.

The problem being the Democrats are probably more than happy to show up and let the republicans fight in public and I'm not sure there is a candidate acceptable to 218 republicans?

My understanding is that its 50% of those present. Hence some say they are present and that impacts the number, if you don't turn up then the bar drops.

This can go on indefinitely but some critical budget stuff will need to pass at some point.
